China Seeking Revenge After Huawei Ban, Could Make Apple’s Life a Nightmare

China is reportedly planning to go after a series of American companies, including Apple, Qualcomm, Boeing, and others, in an attempt to seek revenge after Huawei was banned and hit with more sanctions by the United States government.

A report from the Global Times indicates that China wants to create a so-called “unreliable entity list” that would include foreign companies, such as Apple.

The plan is to also announce a series of restrictions on these companies, while also starting investigations that could eventually affect their operations. The investigations would be based on the Cybersecurity Review Measures and Anti-monopoly Law, albeit for now, it’s not yet clear if any companies are prone to fines or other sanctions under this set of rules.
